Lyrics

Verse 1

The mask is pale, the night is still,

The blade remembers how to kill,

I walk in silence, breath like stone,

This town of Haddonfield my own.

Pre-Chorus

You run but I am patient,

Your heartbeat calls me near,

No mercy in the darkness,

Just the echo of your fear.

Chorus

I’m the shadow in your window,

The whisper at your door,

The shape that keeps returning,

As I’ve always done before.

No escape, no prayer, no saviors,

On this blood-red holiday,

I am Michael, I am waiting,

Halloween will never fade.

Verse 2

The leaves are burning on the ground,

Your scream the sweetest kind of sound,

The mask reveals what none can see,

An endless hunger haunting me.

Pre-Chorus

Your footsteps mark the silence,

Your tears perfume the air,

The chase is just tradition,

A ritual we share.

Chorus

I’m the shadow in your window,

The whisper at your door,

The shape that keeps returning,

As I’ve always done before.

No escape, no prayer, no saviors,

On this blood-red holiday,

I am Michael, I am waiting,

Halloween will never fade.

Bridge

You think the night will end me,

But I am more than man,

A curse that breathes forever,

Beyond what you can stand.

[Break] (Guitar Solo)

Final Chorus

I’m the shadow in your window,

The whisper at your door,

The shape that keeps returning,

As I’ve always done before.

Your candle fades to nothing,

Your prayers all turn to ash,

I am Michael, cold and endless,

And this night will always last.

Outro

So lock your doors and hide your eyes,

Halloween will never die.
